Definitions
- the disclosed play yard has a rectangular upper frame formed of eight frame members pivoted together at their ends, with two members defining each of the four sides of the upper frame.
- a hinge lock rotationally fixes the two members on each side with respect to each other in a coaxial relationship.
- the upper frame is supported at its corners on the upper ends of four vertical posts.
- a rectangular lower frame, also formed with eight hinged frame members, is coupled to the lower ends of the vertical posts.
- the lower frame supports a segmented rigid floor assembly, and fabric side wall panels are stretched between the upper and lower frame assemblies and the vertical posts.
- the posts contact a supporting surface (floor or ground), supporting the play yard.
- the play yard can be collapsed from its deployed configuration to a stored configuration by releasing the hinge locks on the upper frame members, allowing the sides of the upper frame to fold downwardly in a u-shape.
- the lower frame members are similarly folded upwardly, and the vertical posts urged radially toward each other and the center of the play yard.
- the play yard folds into a rectangular package with a height defined by the height of the vertical posts.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,867,851 to Mariol discloses a similar play yard frame, except that the upper and lower frames are triangular and there are accordingly three vertical posts.
- the disclosed frame includes two u-shaped upper frame members pivoted to the apex of a triangular vertical support structure.
- the support structure includes on each side of the frame a central vertical post and a pair of downwardly and outwardly diverging legs.
- a pair of articulated links are pivoted to the upper frame sides and to the vertical post to support the upper frame.
- To collapse the frame the linkages are folded, and the upper frame members rotated downwardly about the vertical support structure.
- the legs are also pivoted toward the post, producing a relatively flat rectangular folded configuration.
- Existing play yard designs are typically fairly rigid structures intended not to move or shift when the infant occupant moves about in the play yard. A child occupant is therefore simply confined within the play yard, and derives little play value from the play yard itself.
- the present invention is able to overcome some of the shortcomings of other play yards through a combination of unique design features.
- One such example is a play yard having an oval-shaped upper frame.
- the upper frame is made of two u-shaped tubes and is supported by two vertical posts at either end of the play yard.
- the ends of each of the u-shaped tubes of the upper frame are connected to each post so as to be able to rotate about the posts.
- Located on each post is a slider which can slide up and down the post. Each slider is held in place by a button on each post.
- Diagonal support braces connect the sliders to each of the u-shaped tubes of the upper frame. When the play yard is in use, the upper frame is thus supported by two vertical posts and the diagonal support braces located on either side of the play yard.
- each post is connected to two opposing cantilevered legs at a hub.
- Each of the legs is substantially u-shaped and is pivotally connected at the hub in order to be able to rotate about the posts.
- the legs each have pairs of foot pads and foot stabilizers.
- the play yard may be folded into a planar-like shape by pressing the buttons associated with the sliders and moving the sliders downwardly. Doing so allows for the upper frame to collapse towards the two posts. Similarly, the legs are folded upwardly towards the post. Both the upper frame and the legs are continually folded until the play yard reaches a planar-like configuration.
- the disclosed play yard has a frame design where inadvertent collapse has been minimized.
- a stable frame has also been provided to eliminate the risk that the play yard will slip and tip over.
- the play yard is both comfortable and entertaining for the child.
- One such entertaining feature is that the play yard may bounce slightly as the child moves about in the play yard.
- the play yard is also very convenient for parents. It can be used indoors or outdoors and is very easy to collapse, store, and transport.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a collapsible play yard in its deployed state on which a closed canopy is mounted.
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the play yard in its deployed state with the canopy opened such that the canopy is located around the outside edge of the upper portion of the play yard.
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the frame structure of the play yard in its deployed state.
- FIG. 4 is a side view of a section of the play yard's upper frame assembly in its deployed state.
- FIG. 5A is a front perspective view of a slider for the play yard.
- FIG. 5B is a back perspective view of the slider.
- FIG. 6A is a front view of the button.
- FIG. 6B is a side view of a button for use with the slider.
- FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the play yard in its collapsed state.
- FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the frame of the play yard in its collapsed state.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 are front perspective views of a collapsible play yard 20 in its deployed position.
- a zip-up dome canopy 30 may be attached to the play yard 20 .
- the canopy 30 like the play yard 20 , is collapsible, and as is seen in FIG. 2 falls to the outside of the edge of the upper portion of the deployed play yard 20 when it is not in use.
- the side of the play yard 20 is formed from an oval-shaped wall 40 having opaque portions 42 and transparent portions 44 .
- the opaque portions 42 and transparent portions 44 may be made of, respectively, nylon and mesh.
- the nylon portions 42 in FIG. 2 are along the ends of the wall 40 , with the mesh portions 44 located in between the nylon portions 42 .
- the opaque 42 and transparent 44 portions there are many possible arrangements for the opaque 42 and transparent 44 portions other than disclosed in FIG. 2 .
- one half of the wall 40 could be formed solely of an opaque portion 42 , while the other half could be formed solely of a transparent portion 44 .
- an opaque material that is capable of folding to the top of the wall 40 at points adjacent to the transparent portions 44 . Such an arrangement would allow for the transparent portions 44 to be selectively covered or uncovered.
- the play yard 20 also has a floor 50 .
- the floor 50 is suspended to the wall 40 by sewing the nylon outside portion of the floor 50 to the wall 40 .
- the floor 50 is oval-shaped and is created by placing an oval-shaped pad on top of the outside portion of the floor 50 .
- the pad is made by capturing three sections of approximately 5 mm. ( ⁇ fraction (3/16 ) ⁇ inch) thick hardboard (two half circles and one center section) between two layers of nylon, and by placing an approximately 19 mm. ( ⁇ fraction (3/4 ) ⁇ inch) piece of foam on top of the hardboard and below the top layer of nylon.
- a removable sheet may be placed on top of the floor 50 .
- the frame 60 of the play yard 20 is disclosed in FIG. 3 .
- the upper frame a section of which is shown more particularly in FIG. 4, includes two upper frame members 70 a and 70 b.
- the upper frame members 70 a and 70 b may be u-shaped and formed of approximately 19 mm. ( ⁇ fraction (3/4 ) ⁇ inch) diameter steel tubing. These u-shaped frame members are ultimately placed in a nylon, padded tunnel formed at the top of the wall 40 , and hence act to support the wall 40 and floor 50 , which hang from the upper frame members 70 a and 70 b.
- the upper frame could be formed of single or multiple frame members of various sizes and shapes. For instance, a single u-shaped or oval-shaped tube could be utilized to form an asymmetrically-shaped play yard.
- the upper frame members 70 a and 70 b are coupled to a pair of posts 80 at upper hubs 90 , which help support the upper frame members 70 a and 70 b.
- the posts 80 disclosed in FIG. 3 are vertically oriented.
- the upper hubs 90 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 include pivot points 92 where the upper hubs 90 connect to the upper frame members 70 a and 70 b.
- the posts 80 connect to the upper hubs 90 at points 94 .
- the upper hubs 90 each form a pair of back-to-back devices into which upper frame members 70 a and 70 b are fitted. They may be made of nylon (or other plastic) or elastomeric material.
- the posts 80 can be formed of approximately 22 mm.
- each post 80 may be formed by mechanically connecting portions of the post 80 to one another to form a single post 80 .
- each post 80 could be an integral structure such that the extended u-shaped member 84 could be a single unitary structure having no mechanical connections.
- the advantage of having mechanically connected posts 80 is that the play yard can be sold in a smaller package size due to portions of the posts 80 being divided from one another in the packaging. However, such an arrangement requires the consumer to assemble the extended u-shaped member 84 .
- upper frame members 70 a and 70 b are also supported at intermediate pivot points 114 by support members 100 .
- Support members 100 which are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 as diagonal braces, are pivotally connected to sliders 110 that slide up and down the posts 80 .
- the slider 110 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 can be made of nylon or other suitable material.
- the support members 100 are pivotally connected to sliders 110 at points 112 .
- each slider 110 locks into position through the use of a release mechanism 116 , which functions to both engage and disengage the sliders 110 from its locked position on post 80 .
- FIGS. 4 and 6 are a button, such as those sold under the trademark “VALCO,” but other types of release mechanisms 116 , such as a latch, could be used to hold each slider 110 in place.
- VALCO a button, such as those sold under the trademark “VALCO,” but other types of release mechanisms 116 , such as a latch, could be used to hold each slider 110 in place.
- other structures than that disclosed in FIG. 5 could be used as a slider 110 that is capable of sliding up and down post 80 .
- Each post is coupled to a ground-engaging base of the play yard 20 .
- a lower hub 120 is connected to each post 80 at the lower end of each post 80 , such lower end being at or near the extreme bottom of the post 80 .
- the type of hub 120 disclosed in FIG. 3 is a nylon housing assembly 120 that is formed from an outer 121 and an inner 122 housing assembly.
- the outer and inner housing assemblies 121 , 122 define lower 123 , central 124 , and upper grooves 125 .
- Central groove 124 is offset relative to lower groove 123 and upper groove 125 to provide a detent feature as will be described below.
- Each inner housing assembly 122 may have two small tabs coupled to its inside and located below floor 50 to help support the floor 50 .
- the housing assembly 120 also serves as a hub and fulcrum point for two opposed cantilevered legs 130 .
- the ends of the legs 130 which are pivotally connected to the hub 120 , are located in the lower grooves 123 of the two lower hubs 120 .
- the offset of grooves 123 relative to central groove 124 in hub 120 acts as a first detent, locking the legs 130 in the deployed position.
- the legs 130 can be deflected outwardly away from each other to move them from the first detent in groove 123 and then slid along central groove 124 in hub 120 until they spring back into upper grooves 125 , which form a second detent, locking the legs 130 in a folded position.
- Each leg 130 is substantially u-shaped and can be made of approximately 12 mm. ( ⁇ fraction (1/2 ) ⁇ inch) diameter steel substantially u-shaped tubes 132 .
- the tubes 132 have approximately 457 mm. (18 inch) long sections of approximately 10 mm. ( ⁇ fraction (3/8 ) ⁇ inch) diameter spring steel 134 mechanically fastened to each end (partially inside the tube), forming the resultant leg 130 .
- the deflection of the spring steel 134 ends of the legs 130 helps create a bounce-effect for the frame of the play yard 20 .
- the disclosed legs 130 each have an offset bend 136 in the center.
- the legs 130 disclosed in FIG. 3 could thus be described as w-shaped in addition to substantially u-shaped.
- the offset bend 136 is not a necessary feature, and can be more or less pronounced, or eliminated entirely (such that the legs 130 more closely resemble a perfectly u-shaped structure).
- the legs 130 can be formed of single or multiple frame members of various sizes and shapes. So, for instance, a single substantially u-shaped or oval shaped tube could be utilized to form an asymmetrically-shaped play yard 120 .
- each leg 130 can also be equipped with pairs of foot stabilizers 137 and foot pads 138 .
- the foot stabilizers 137 are mechanically attached near each corner of each leg 130 and help prevent the play yard 20 from tipping by providing additional contact points between the legs 130 and the ground.
- Pairs of foot pads 138 which can be made of thermal plastic elastomer, are mechanically attached to each leg 130 at the points where the legs 130 come into contact with the ground. The pads 138 help stabilize the legs 130 by providing slip resistance for the product. Rollers or wheels could also be attached to the legs 130 .
- the above-described play yard 20 provides a comfortable and entertaining play space for children.
- the large enclosure of the play yard 20 gives the child plenty of room to rest and play.
- the mesh and opaque portions of the play yard 20 and canopy 30 allow for the circulation of air and elimination of annoying sunlight and bugs.
- toys can be attached or built-in to the inside of the wall 40 of the play yard 20 , and the inside of the wall 40 can be printed with colorful patterns and drawings.
- Multiple toys can be sewn-on to the wall 40 , and can include soft toy animals, each with a different toy feature such as a squeaker, a rattle, a mirror, and a crinkle sound.
- Additional entertainment value is derived from the frame design, which allows the play yard 20 to bounce as the child moves about the play yard 20 .
- the bounce produced by the play yard 20 depends on many factors, including the length, thickness, and type of materials used to construct the frame.
- the disclosed play yard 20 is generally designed for children up to 30 pounds.
- the design of, and materials used to construct, the frame could easily be modified so as to allow for a person of greater weight without compromising the features of invention.
- the floor 50 of the deployed play yard 20 come into contact with the ground.
- the floor 50 of the play yard 20 should be resting on the supports of the legs 130 even when a weight of 30 pounds is placed on an extreme end of the floor 50 .
- the lower hubs 120 should not hit the ground until a weight of 40 pounds is placed on the floor 50 . It should be recognized of course that if desired one could make some relatively simple modifications to the frame structure of the play yard 20 so that the lower hubs 120 and the floor 50 touch the ground at a lesser weight (or no weight at all). Such modifications may decrease the bounce produced by the play yard 20 .
- the play yard 20 is very convenient for parents. It can be used both indoors and outdoors, and is collapsed very easily and compactly for transportation and storage purposes. The steps required to collapse the deployed play yard 20 shown in FIG. 1 are easily followed. If closed, the canopy 30 attached to play yard 20 needs to be opened and allowed to fall to the upper outside edge of the wall 40 , as disclosed in FIG. 2 .
- the release mechanisms 116 which in this case are buttons, are activated and the sliders 110 moved down the two posts 80 , allowing the upper frame members 70 a and 70 b to pivot about pivot points 92 .
- the ends of the members 70 a and 70 b farthest from the post move down and towards the posts 80 .
- the upper frame members 70 a and 70 b can be moved by either applying force directly on the sliders 110 or directly on the members 70 a and 70 b.
- the legs 130 are collapsed by initially slipping the ends of the legs 130 out of the lower grooves 123 of each hub 120 . The legs 130 are then moved upwardly, and in doing so the ends of the legs 130 farthest from the post (the distal ends) move upwardly and towards the posts 80 .
- the floor 50 folds in the same direction as the legs 130 .
- the play yard 20 can be collapsed by performing the above-described steps in varying order. For instance, one could easily begin the collapsing process by first beginning to fold the legs 30 , and next by releasing the release mechanism 116 .
- the play yard 20 assumes a compact, planar-like configuration that enables it to be easily transported and stored.
- the sliders 110 are located at or near the top of the lower hubs 120 ; the upper frame members 70 a and 70 b are folded between the posts 80 and the floor 50 such that a portion of each of the upper frame members 70 a and 70 b is substantially parallel to the posts 80 ; and the ends of the legs 130 have moved through the central grooves 124 and are held in place by the upper grooves 125 of the hubs 120 .
- straps 140 with VELCRO surfaces can be secured to the bottom outer surface of each end of the floor 50 so as to ensure the floor 50 remains folded after the play yard is collapsed.
- the offset bends 136 of each leg 130 approach one another and act as a handle for carrying the collapsed play yard 20 .
- the folded play yard 20 in FIG. 7 could be altered so that the offset bends 136 of the legs 130 lie above the ends of the floor 50 . This allows the offset bends 136 to come into closer proximity to one another so as to make it easier to grasp the handle formed by the bends 136 .
- each leg 130 In the event the distal ends of each leg 130 are not positioned in close enough proximity to act as a handle, carry handles could be added to the folded play yard 20 .
- the handles could be attached to the bottom of each end of the floor 50 such that when the play yard is folded, each handle is lifted up and around the ends of the legs 130 to carry the play yard 20 .
- a spring can be attached to the inside of each hub 120 so that, after removing the legs from the upper grooves 125 , the ends of the legs 130 automatically spring into lower grooves 123 .
